Lumix S 26mm f/8

A 58g body-cap pancake with a fixed f/8 aperture and manual focus by lever — made to keep the Lumix S9 pocketable. No filters or cap can be fitted. A casual, zone-focus lens rather than a serious optic.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
